Advocacy

Bridges has been improving the quality of end-of-life experiences through a wide variety of direct services since our beginnings in 1980. However, during recent strategic planning discussions to update our vision and mission, we identified the need to address large-scale, systemic changes that could dramatically change the end-of-life landscape in the Tri-County region that we serve as well as throughout South Carolina and across the nation. So, beginning in 2018-19, we are launching our formal advocacy efforts by adding our voice and resources existing federal, state & local initiatives through collaborations with well-established organizations like the Coalition to Transform Advanced Care, the Hospice Action Network, the SC Coalition for the Care of the Seriously Ill, and The Carolinas Center.

Stay tuned for more details on how you can join our efforts to ensure that everyone facing advanced illness has access to the best possible end-of-life care.
